MacOS: Could not start video source

See original GitHub issue

Hey there, I’m seeing a black screen. The camera was not able to start.

The error is saying

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Could not start video source
image

However, when I ran it from the code it asked me to allow access to camera, and worked well. 🤔

More details

  • macOS Monterey, Version 12.2 (21D49)
  • Tested with the macbook native camera only

the actual issue might be the app not being visible on the privacy settings. 🤔
